Chapter 65: Arutai's Choice
Ten miles long street, the cold wind howling, snowflakes flying.
"Ahh "Ahh
Looking at Mahamu, who looked like crazy and howled in the sky, Erlebok and the others sighed in a low voice, but there was nothing they could do. They can all understand Mahamu's feelings, but why shouldn't they themselves? Captured by the Ming army and taken to the Central Plains, far from home, the women of the family will quickly throw themselves into the arms of another person, and their children will have a new father, but Mahamu is still young and more difficult to accept.
Now that the grassland has calmed down, the bloodline of the golden family has been basically cut off, and Princess Samur was elected as the superintendent of the country, but at the same time married the son of the national teacher Ugqi, Eseku, which is the law of the grassland. The women of the steppe have no way to survive on their own, and they must be dependent on men, just like Kharguchuk's wife, Honggaowa, who had to marry Elberk. And Mahamu's son, Tohuan, became the son of Eseku; Mahamu's father, Haohai Dayu, was also accused of murdering the Great Khan and brutally executed. The tribes of the eastern steppe have completely fallen into the hands of Ugqi, and at this time they are under the command of Eseku, so that Ugqi and his son control the entire steppe from east to west.
When the situation calmed down, Ugqi immediately sent Arslen as an envoy to the Ming Dynasty, ostensibly to welcome back the Great Khan, but in fact to exchange markets. In addition to cattle, horses and sheep, the Mongolian steppe is not produced, and the Han people's ironware, cotton clothes, spirits, food, salt, and tea are all urgently needed by them, which is also one of the important measures of Ugqi to win the hearts of the people. And Zhu Yunwen's reaction was not in a hurry, talk slowly.
Looking at Mahamu's staggering back, Arutai hesitated for a moment, turned back to Erlebok and said, "Great Khan, I'll take care of Mahamu." ”
Erlebuk sighed slightly, and then glanced back at the Ming army not far away, they were ordered by the emperor to protect their people, but they were at least twenty steps away from them, and their real intention was more to prevent their people from escaping, rather than simply protecting. Elebak turned his head and said in a low voice: "You go, Mahamu is young and vigorous, persuade him well, this time is different from the past, bear with it." ”
"Yes, Great Khan!"
……
Mahamu was full of thoughts about the current situation of his wife Samur and his son, and when he thought of Samur tactfully under the side of Eseku, he was angry and slammed into it; And the naughty dehuan is not liked by his stepfather, and he is abused, discriminated against, whipped and so on, and Mahamu is even more heartbroken......
"Bring the wine, I'll drink it again!" Mahamu slapped the table and shouted.
"Horse, it's gone, the wine at home is all drunk!"
"No way, I haven't had enough yet! Go get it! While speaking, Ma Hamu casually gave Rising Sun a mouthful: "Go buy wine, otherwise Lao Tzu will kill you!" ”
Rising Sun sighed, turned around, and was about to go out to buy wine, but was stopped by Arutai.
Arutai walked up to Mahamu, raised his hand, and gave Mahamu an ear scraper with a "snap". A spirit of Mahamu who was beaten, when he saw that it was Arutai, he was furious: "Arutai, I'll fuck your grandma, if you hadn't attacked this horse, how could this horse have fallen into such a field?" Lao Tzu fought with you! ”
Arutai sneered: "Horses? Bah! Shit pony! Your princess has already put Eseku to sleep, and they are the real colts! Are you a piece of? ”
Maha's woody seven orifices smoked, brandished his iron fist, and rushed up to fight with Arutai. Arutai did not show weakness, one sideways, and threw Mahamu on one of his backs and shoulders, and with a "snap", Mahamu fell heavily to the ground.
The Rising Sun was startled and rushed over to block it, but was stopped by Arutai's guards, who could only shout: "Arutai, what are you doing?" As if he hadn't heard, Arutai continued to pack up Mahamu.
Mahamu was dizzy, he shook his head, got up, and continued to rush towards Arutai, but was thrown to the ground by Arutai again and again. In terms of martial arts, Mahamu is not bad, but he drinks too much and his limbs are weak, so he is not Arutai's opponent at all.
After being thrown more than ten times, Mahamu finally didn't get up again, he had no strength. His eyes looked blankly at the roof, tears slowly flowed out, and finally he cried: "Samur, Dehuan, I'm useless, I don't have the ability to protect you!" As he spoke, he beat his chest frantically, unable to help himself.
Arutai looked at Mahamu's appearance, shook his head, turned back to sit in his chair, and sipped his tea.
After a long time, Mahamu stopped his sorrow, staggered to his feet, walked outside the house, picked up the white snow and wiped his face, then walked back, let everyone out, and then sat down at the table, staring at Arutai.
"Arutai, what the hell do you want to do?"
"Hehe, Mahamu, what do you think?"
"It's not supposed to entertain me, you shouldn't be so boring!"
"Of course not, Mahamu, I thought you were a hero, but I never thought that you would be a coward, the hatred of killing your father, the hatred of taking your wife and your children, you will only borrow wine here to drown your sorrows, are you worthy of your father who worked hard to cultivate you? Are you worthy of Samur, who has always been in love with you? Are you worthy of the joy of being proud of you? ”
"I," Mahamu clenched his fists and whispered, "what can I do?" We are all captives, and we will never be able to return to the grassland, let alone take revenge. ”
"Hehe, not necessarily, didn't you see anything at Emperor Ming's banquet today?"
"See, the Ming Emperor is really shameless, the sun that never rises on the grassland? Did he think he was Genghis Khan? ”
"Hahaha," Arutai suddenly laughed: "I don't know if Emperor Ming can become Genghis Khan, but it can be seen from the ambition of Emperor Ming, he has the heart to conquer the grassland, then our opportunity has come." ”
"Opportunity?" Ma Hamu shook his head and drove away the drunkenness for a moment, and then he suddenly understood what Arutai meant, and exclaimed: "You mean, throw yourself to the Ming Emperor as the vanguard of his conquest of the grassland?" ”
"Exactly!"
"No, absolutely not, I Mahamu can't do this kind of thing, doesn't this make the grassland people laugh at me as a lackey of the Ming people?"
Looking at Mahamu's categorical refusal, Arutai chuckled: "Mahamu, since Emperor Ming has the ambition of Genghis Khan, then he must have the strength of Genghis Khan, and he can use it according to the situation. ”
"Moreover, the 'Nine Batters' Zhang Hongfan among the Han people, the 'black-clothed prime minister' Liu Bingzhong, the Khitan Yelu Chucai, and even Changchun Zhenrenqiu, if Genghis Khan and Kublai Khan did not reuse them and destroy the Jinping Song Dynasty, I'm afraid it won't be so easy."
"Therefore, I, Arutai, am willing to be the vanguard of Emperor Ming, level the grassland, and kill Ugqi, Eseku and others, so as to relieve the hatred in my heart!"
Mahamu was stunned, he didn't expect Arutai to see things like this, but Arutai's statement can't be said to be unreasonable. If you want to take revenge, you can only throw yourself to the Ming Emperor as his pawn.
In all fairness, the relationship between Mahamu and Arutai was not good, and when the two were nomadic near Lake Bell, they continued to be filthy, and they didn't know how much they moved each other, but in the end the two were tied, and neither took advantage of anything. However, in each other's hearts, each other's minds and visions are the choice of the moment, and they must not be taken lightly.
"Moreover, when I was in Beijing, the Ming Emperor also specially asked people to show us a firearm, do you remember, do you think the grassland can resist the Ming army's soldiers?"
"This," Mahamu thought for a moment and shook his head, the scene of artillery firing and gunfire like flowing water is not something that flesh and blood can resist at all, and the Mongolian cavalry has very little iron armor, most of them are armored, and they are as vulnerable as paper in front of firearms.
"That's right, after having firearms, the Ming army is like a tiger. Now the Songhua River basin has fallen into the hands of the Ming army, as long as the Ming army has finished cultivating and crossed the Xing'an Mountains, you can reach Bear Lake, threatening and forest. As long as the Ming army does not make big mistakes and advances step by step, it will not be long before Mobei Mongolia will fall into the hands of the Ming Emperor. ”
"So Emperor Ming is likely to create a great cause like Genghis Khan, mixing the grassland and the Central Plains, in this case, what is wrong with us taking refuge in him?"
